The Education Act 1996 governs core aspects of England’s school system, including admissions, school governing bodies, exclusions, and other duties placed on local authorities and schools. A solicitor practising in this area helps clients with admissions disputes, exclusions, and SEN-related processes, reviews school policies, and assists in drafting or challenging decisions made by schools or local authorities. They may also handle appeals and liaise with Ofsted or the Department for Education where statutory rights or duties arise.

“Put simply, we couldn't have done it without Alex. She kept proceedings on track and applied consistent pressure to the Local Authority, consulting us at each step and giving a considered view of our best approach. She shared great knowledge of schools we could consider and worked seamlessly with our expert witnesses to build a firm case. And ultimately, brought us to a brilliant resolution for our son with a place at the school we identified as best placed to meet his needs.”
